come on guys, even stock a tc is much faster than an 18 wheeler. STAY THE HELL OUTTA THEIR WAY!
never and i mean never ride along side an 18-wheeler. they have huge blind spots. when i see them on the interstate, i stay behind them until there is enough room ahead of them to pass them. and never pass them on the right! they usually aren't allowed in the left lane, but when they are they are usually going to change back into the right lane because they were passing, or so that they can exit. i have learned this from several close calls (thank god for brakes and downshifting) learn from what i have found out!

damn i just saw the pics, glad you made it out ok. it's always a bad idea to be on either side of an 18wheeler. either pass it up or let it pass you. but good thing you were able to walk outta there with just a cut.

Well my insurance basicly ____ed me, they tried to give me a civic saying it was the same type of car, no offense to those who have a civic but unless its a si it's pretty much a big down grade......so they gave me a 5,000 check and the rest I have to get on my own......right now a new one is in the works (hopefully I can get a used rs1.0, love that red).......don't worry Thao, I'll be back on the streets soon
